Only downside was during our visit a couple months ago the water issues was going on so there were so restrooms. The Cuban was spot on. Slightly crispy bread, flavorful meat, tender pork and crunchy pickles. The fries were on point I'm not sure what they do to them to make them so golden and perfect. There's plenty of seating and it didn't take too long to get our food. Will definitely stop in here again when visiting.

The biggest downside was the service--it was very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to place our order, and another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Definitely not a place to go if you're really hungry or in a rush. We ordered a veggie omelette with Swiss cheese and bread--it was okay overall, though the bread was on the sweeter side, which I personally didn't enjoy. My husband had a veggie omelette wrap, which was decent as well. We also got an orange juice, but it wasn't sweet. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but not particularly memorable either. If you don't have many options, it's worth trying--but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

For that reason, I'd recommend going at an off time for lunch because it was great! They were out of a few items, but I ended up with a pork chop with guava sauce and it was so good. They were also sadly out of the tres leches cake but I popped back in later that week as they were closing and were thrilled they had some left. That may have been the best tres leches I've ever had. The drinks were also delicious! We'll definitely return next time we're in PR.

We went with the waitress's recommended dishes - Mofongo Churrasco (steak) and Mamposteao Tacu Tacu with grilled shrimp. Flavors were strong and a bit on the salty side, but delicious. We enjoyed both dishes. The Mamposteao Tacu Tacu has a long fancy name but it was rice and beans topped with skirt steak. The sangria was the happy hour cocktail of the night, very refreshing.

Located a few doors down from where the address will direct your GPS to, it's easiest to spot by the bright awning. Limited parking is outside, as is the story with most spots in PR. The menu is in Spanish, which is easily translated through Google translate. The cashier spoke no English, and seemed frustrated by our novice Spanish. I ordered a Cubano and my husband ordered a medianoche. The bread was thicker than we had seen on our weeklong trip thus far, and significantly oilier. We didn't prefer it to what we had elsewhere. The flavors were fine, but not great- ultimately not worth the awkward visit.

Review #1,046 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We came here on Thursday the 23rd while in San Juan area for my buddies 50th birthday. This spot we had seen on social media a ton for being famous for their Mallorca sandwich, a special type bread, we got the one with bacon & American cheese. Man, I made the mistake of doing the bacon instead of ham, overthought that deal. I tried my buddies with ham n cheese and I think that was way to go. I loved how this spot had that super old school feel of like a diner. You can sit at one of the table tops, or you can do the countertop too, which has tons of seats, we all were able to sit there. I'd 100% recommend this spot, but get the ham n cheese mallorca sandwich, don't overthink it.

After a few minutes, people started trickling down and soon the place was close to being full. I liked the mallorca with ham, bacon, cheese! It was delicious. They looked small but they were filling. The pastries displayed at the window were inviting. If you're dining in, you have to tell your server that you're getting some pastries that are on display then you ask the person at the counter who also serves as the cashier to get them for you. The guava pastry was good. The vanilla bread with strawberry and pineapple/lemon was okay. They looked better than they tasted in my opinion. Payment for everything would be at the cashier after dining. If you're in San Juan, this is a place to try!
